When I visit schools I am almost always asked to list my favorite books, so I've been keeping a list for more than a decade. Here are my top books of 2017! (I already have many for 2018, but I'll have to wait to add them to my list...)

Orphan Islandby Laurel Snyder (middle grade) The War that Saved My Life andThe War I Finally Won both by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley (middle grade)

I also try and read several classics a year, and this year my favorites were a reread of:

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brienand a first read of My Antonia by Willa Cather
